Case Study: Expo improves team communication and workflow with Linear

Leveled up how we communicate and work

Expo, the Palo Alto-based company behind the universal app development platform, needed a better way to manage product work across a distributed team. Their previous flexible tool lacked a clear view of what everyone was working on, making it hard to see priorities, track individual contributor focus, and keep engineering, design, growth, documentation, and support aligned.

With Linear, Expo adopted issue tracking, GitHub automation, and quarterly milestones in a workflow that matched how the team already built products. Linear helped the whole company move into one up-to-date system, improved communication, and reduced work getting lost in Slack or outdated docs; it also encouraged a culture of action by making it fast and easy to create issues.
